BURN DOWN THE CLOSET: A GAME ABOUT BEING AGENDER

Help a frustrated agender person create an outfit that even society itself cannot impose a gender on... if you dare! Fumble your way to 5 different endings!

This game was created in less than one month for the March 2025 MAGS (Monthly Adventure Game Studio) game jam, with the theme "LGBTQ."

I fumbled my way through, and found all five endings. 
(3, then 5, 4, 1 and finally 2)

Well written, both funny and insightful. Lots of insights about clothes that I didn't have before, so consider me (a bit) educated. The graphics are detailed concerning the clothes, but not the character, which I guess is a good choice, given the theme. I also think the Eric Matyas soundtrack suits the game - it gives a light hearted, upbeat impression.

I would like an option to download the game instead of only being able to play it online. I'd also have liked a "ready" button that took the character out in the world when I was happy with the chosen clothes, and perhaps an option to go back to an earlier item. I realize this would require a lot more potential endings, though, so I guess these are artistic choices.

My 15-year old daughter played it just now. We laughed a lot! The main question she had, was why this person had all these clothes in the closet in the first place. She got ending 1 the first two times, and I had to nudge her that she had to play differently if she wanted to get the other endings as well. (Which she did.) She thought

had to be the best ending.
